THE OFFICIAL AMATEUR 
SEASON’S AVERAGE 
Dr. W. S. Spencer of St. Louis, Mo., 
won the Interstate Association’s 
contest for the Amateur Season’s 
Average for 1911. He shot at 2,100 
targets in various tournaments and 
scored 96.28 per cent, a record that 
ail amateurs agree is a wonderful one. In winning this great 
trap shooting honor which so many amateurs annually strive 
for. Dr. Spencer shot a Winchester Repeating Shotgun and 
Winchester Loaded Shells His record is conclusive proof 
of their strong and uniform shooting qualities, for such shoot¬ 
ing as Dr. Spencer did could only have been done with the 
best possible equipment. Dr. Spencer’s victory and the 
winning of the Professional Season’s Average for 1911 by 
J. R. Taylor, with a Winchester Repeating Shotgun and 
Winchester Loaded Shells emphasizes the wisdom of shoot¬ 
ing the make of gun and shells that always helps and never 
handicaps skill. That Winchester Shotguns and Winchester 
Shells are such a combination is shown by their consistent 
and conspicuous winnings.
